“Li Tianjiao, do you honestly think Xing and I hang out with you just because you are Li Guang’s son? What’s that supposed to mean? Do you feel like you’re degrading yourself by being with me?” Xiaoqian stood with her hands on her hips, her slender fingers pointing at Li Tianjiao, her mouth moving non-stop.
“I’m telling you, in a world without you, countless people would try just to speak with us. Here you are, playing dead! What are you pretending for? If it weren’t for Ye Tian’s sake, who do you think you are? I wouldn’t even bother with you!”
Xiaoqian was furious, pampered and adored back at the Zhao family, and though being with Ye Tian wasn’t as comfortable as being at home, Ye Tian took pretty good care of her. And now she had to coddle someone young master, thinking who he thinks he is.
“Alright, Xiaoqian.” Yu Xiao patted Xiaoqian on the back, soothing her, “Don’t be so harsh on Tianjiao, after all…”
“After all what?” Xiaoqian’s face, which had calmed down a bit, instantly flushed again. “Why are you always so dense!” She poked Yu Xiao’s head directly. “Don’t you have those moments? Think about it, when your dad and my grandpa go out, do you know if they will ever come back?”
Yu Xiao fell silent; indeed, his father’s room always had a will placed in Eastern Europe, no one knew if this departure might be the last.
“Li Tianjiao, did you see? Your father vanished all of a sudden, you are heartbroken, but you have to accept reality! Why are you cooped up here? Don’t you need to arrange your dad’s funeral? Or do you think it’s better for us to handle it for you?” Xiaoqian was livid.
“Tianjiao, I know you’re in distress, but respect for the dead comes first, you need to pull yourself together. Not many people know the truth about your father’s matter, if you don’t prepare, do you want others to know?” Yu Xiao said worriedly.
The psychological disparity Li Tianjiao felt was immense now; he didn’t know whether to perk up and pretend ignorance about his father’s matters or to curl up in a corner where no one could find him.
Originally, Li Tianjiao was envied by everyone in this city, whether genuinely admired or secretly despised, everyone was respectful when they saw him, always proud of his father being a remarkable person. But now, it was all gone.
His father had turned into this city’s disaster, though no one had died because of the incident, the numerous bloody conflicts it caused, how was he going to face others?
“I don’t care what you think of your dad, I think your dad was a real man!” Ye Tian never wanted to leave the hospital because he really didn’t know how to face Li Tianjiao.
“What?!” Li Tianjiao looked at Ye Tian in surprise, but his expression was serious, not at all joking, “You think my dad was a real man! He caused you a lot of trouble.”
“Yes! But what about it? If it wasn’t my dad making trouble for me, it would have been someone else! And why did your dad do all this? Wasn’t it to spare you hassles?”
Actually, Ye Tian’s attitude towards Li Guang was strange; to say he was a good person wasn’t quite accurate since indeed he had done too much, but to call him bad wasn’t quite accurate either, as he hadn’t hurt anyone. In the end, he used himself to seal the evil of the Blood Jade Spirit Sword within his own body, ultimately taking his life.
Now the Blood Jade Spirit Sword was no different from any cold weapon, which was good news for the Lv Family. However, the Lv Family didn’t want this sword anymore, the catastrophe it brought was beyond compensation, so now the sword still stayed at Ye Tian’s house, purely as a piece of artwork.
“The fact is, your dad was compelled; when he did that, did you ever think if he was suffering? A normal person, who wants to live a killer’s life? You think he enjoyed bloodshed! Get it together now!” Ye Tian grabbed Li Tianjiao, forcing him to look eye to eye. Follow current novᴇls on novel·fıre·net
“But, he…” Li Tianjiao had never seen Ye Tian , usually so carefree, he thought he had seen him serious during training, but now it was nothing like that.
“But what? Even if he was a murderous fiend, he is still your father, what he did for you, you dare ignore now! Stand up and properly hold his funeral! Let him leave with dignity!”
Ye Tian threw Li Tianjiao back on the bed, he looked like a lifeless ragdoll without the aura of the mayor’s young master, indistinguishable from any ordinary child.
“Others may blame him, but you can’t!” Ye Tian’s face was stiff, with no trace of expression, his commanding tone left Li Tianjiao with no room for hesitation.
“Damn! Brother Tian is so cool!” Xiaoqian admired Ye Tian; such a man was truly a man.
“I think so too, but he seems quite repressed.” Yu Xiao didn’t know what was on Ye Tian’s mind, only felt that his current state was off.
Ye Tian quickly left Li Tianjiao’s house, the outside sunlight was dazzling, he squinted and glanced at the sky, a pristine blue as if washed, a few clouds stretched carefree.
